Abstract

Growing evidence suggests a possible link between intracranial pressure and the pathogenesis of glaucomatous optic neuropathy, a low cerebrospinal fluid pressure in the retrobulbar region of the orbit may theoretically have a similar effect as an increased intraocular pressure on translaminar pressure difference.
